Inner Healing with St. Thomas Aquinas

with Christin McIntyre, MD, PhD

Eight hundred years ago, St. Thomas Aquinas described the inner workings of our body-soul composite with profound clarity. Discover how and why the truth of how God made us can set us free from the judgments, lies and ungodly self-reliance rooted in our wounds. The Holy Spirit comes powerfully to our aid as we form our intellect in the truth and conform our will to God’s, restoring the flow of grace in and through us for the healing of ourselves and others.

Dr. Christin McIntyre is a married mother of five who converted to Catholicism in 1997. She earned a combined MD/PhD degree in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University of Kansas Medical Center, and returned to Oregon to complete a residency in Psychiatry at OHSU. She has been in outpatient practice as a psychiatrist in the Portland area since 2003, transitioning to telehealth in 2020, and now treats patients remotely in four states since relocating to Idaho in 2021. In addition to medication management, psychotherapy continues to be a main focus of her practice. To better serve a growing number of Catholic patients in recent years, she has pursued training in Thomistic psychology as well as with the John Paul II Healing Center, and has been a featured guest on two recent episodes of the Restore the Glory Podcast with Dr. Bob Schuchts and Jake Khym. Dr. McIntyre and her husband are Oblates of Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon, where she offers periodic retreats that draw from her experience in clinical psychiatry, spiritual healing ministry, and the Catholic faith.
